The Wedding Website of Lauren Rodriguez and Joseph Garcia
Question

Do I need a visa to travel to Italy?

Answer

U.S. and U.K. passport holders do not need a visa to visit Italy for stays under 90 days. Just make sure your passport is valid for at least 6 months after your return date! However, starting in mid-2025, travelers from visa-exempt countries (including the U.S. and U.K.) will need to apply for an ETIAS travel authorization before entering any Schengen Area country, including Italy. ETIAS is not a visa, but a quick online security screening, similar to the U.S. ESTA, that is valid for multiple trips over three years. It's expected to cost around €7, and approval is usually fast (often within minutes). We recommend checking the official ETIAS website closer to your travel date for up-to-date info and the application link.

Question

When do I have to RSVP by?

Answer

Kindly RSVP as soon as you can so we can start to get a sense of attendance. We’ll request a final RSVP closer to the date once invitations go out. Click the RSVP tab at the top and then just enter your name and follow the prompts. If you run into any issues, feel free to reach out to Lauren directly at (305) 342-3542.

Question

What is the dress code?

Answer

Essentially, the dress code is black tie. We would love to see all our guests in their chicest formalwear, but remember it'll be summer in Italy! So, don't be afraid to play play with color, texture, and prints! Think elevated and elegant, with a little Italian drama. LADIES Long gowns are encouraged but midi or ankle-length is great too, making it easier to walk on grass. You might also want to consider your shoe choice as parts of the day will take place on grassy terrain. GENTLEMEN Tuxedos are optional, but sharp suits would be appropriate. If you want to mix it up, try opting for a linen fabric and/or a lighter tone suit! We'll post an "Attire Guide" on the website soon, for some inspiration!

Question

What time should I arrive at the ceremony?

Answer

The ceremony will begin just before sunset — exact time to be announced. Arrive early so you can settle in, grab a drink, and enjoy the view.

Question

Will transportation be provided to the wedding?

Answer

We’re still working out the details and will update you soon. Stay tuned!

Question

What is the weather going to be like?

Answer

June in Tuscany is usually warm and sunny, with daytime temps averaging in the high 70s to low 80s°F (25–28°C) and cooler evenings in the low 60s°F (16°C). We're hoping for a beautiful golden-hour ceremony, but we'll be getting hitched rain or shine! No worries, we'll have a plan B for inclement weather. If you're planning to explore Italy beyond the wedding, consider that Northern Italy (like Milan, Lake Como, or Venice) can be a little cooler and Southern Italy (like the Amalfi Coast or Sicily) will be warmer and sunnier. Light layers, sunglasses, and sunscreen are your friends!

Question

What should I do if I want to extend my trip?

Answer

We love that idea! Since you’ll already be in Europe, it’s the perfect opportunity to explore — whether that means starting your trip elsewhere and making your way to Tuscany for the wedding, or continuing your adventure afterward. Italy is surrounded by so many incredible destinations — think France, Spain, Croatia, Switzerland. Tuscany itself is just a few hours from Lake Como, Venice, Cinque Terre, Florence, Rome, and the Amalfi Coast. We’ll be sharing some of our favorite stops and suggestions on the website soon!

Question

Are you registered?

Answer

We don't have a registry, in the traditional sense! We've started a newlywed fund, which we hope to use to help us get started on this new journey together. You can find it by clicking the tab up top that says "Newlywed Fund". Please know that your presence at our wedding, especially traveling all the way to Italy to celebrate us, is more than enough, and we’re so grateful either way.

For all the days along the way
